Chi Chi & the Pasta Family brings fresh, handmade pasta to Spitalfields Market with a warmth that keeps regulars coming back weekly. Run from a stand where the pasta's cooked right in front of you, it's all about big flavours and generous portions — the Tuscan Sausage Fennel Rigatoni and Mushroom Cream Pappardelle draw particularly devoted fans. "The fennel and rosemary came through beautifully," one local notes, while another calls the almond Mamma Irene Tiramisu "the BEST tiramisu I have ever tried." Reviewers mention that Michu and Francesco work the stand with genuine enthusiasm, offering free samples to help you choose and keeping the queue moving even at peak lunch hour. Meals run under £10, or go for the £16–17 combo with drink and tiramisu. Seating's minimal, a few tables by the truck, and the pasta's cooked al dente, sauces are rich, with Parmesan and chilli to finish. Perfect for a quick Spitalfields lunch when you want something home-cooked and real.
